Seems like the RNC reflects a party comprised of people who aren't aware that this country is a DIVERSE place. Despite being on stage and having national attention this week, the Republicans failed to dispel the notion that they are a party that is a haven for racially insensitve people. This continues to be very pathetic aspect of their existence.

In a diverse U.S., a mostly white RNC - Washington Post - MSNBC.com (broken link)

Oh brother, not another race whine. What are Powell and Rice, if not black Americans? Have the Dems ever appointed black Americans in such high positions in our government? If you bothered to look in the crowd, you would have seen hispanics, blacks, Indians, and Asians. If you want to see more of them in the Republican party, you'll have to encourage more education and common sense among minorities, so that they will be inoculated against the deception and glitz of the Democratic party.

But, but, but, I thought obama was a post-racial candidate? I thought he said race should not be an issue?

OK,

It's time to make generalizations. I suppose.

I imagine that Alexus is black. Probably not, though, because this type of argument usually comes from someone who is white and a defender of left wing thought. From a person that doesn't realize that a lot of black and white Americans work together and live in the same neighborhoods.

If I were to stereotype Alexus, I would suppose that he or she is a transexual ... looking for federal funds to further body surgery. I make this assumption on the fact that Alexus lives in San Fransisco.

Dig?

Who exactly are Democrats racist against? they are a diverse party, unlike Republicans.
